I've been gunning for 'Temptation' for what seems like weeks! And I don't even dislike it. Once again "ditto" I wonder if it has survived because of the Springsteen connection - it seems too much like pastiche ( like "Human Touch" for my liking and is way inferior to songs like ...

B-Movie is out! I swear you get a kick out of this, Kosi! Okay, I attempted to assassinate 'Temptation' once again. People either love that song inordinately or are tactically voting to thwart me at every turn! Only a Welshman would believe tactical voting would come into it - unlike down here wher...

Fishfinger king wrote:Incredible I stand accused is one of EC’s greatest ever covers.You are all sick and wrong!I’ve now voted for the same song five rounds running.I didn’t want to give it away but how is “having a heart attack round your ankles” a good line or rhyme?

But never mind, Joe Public contributed to a 100 year old walking along his garden and celebrity comics raised an equivalent amount by farting about on TV for a night so we're all pulling together aren't we? Oh God, yes, don't get me started on the poor 100-year-old man charity thing. The Tories mus...

Sulky, hope your return to the nursing sector will be safe. It is really concerning to hear all the news about lack of PPE. I hope you are well protected. I'm lucky enough to have a job I can do from home, and am finding it okay - not going stir crazy here in Middlesex. I am utterly appalled at our...

I’ve kept that for my top ten Neil but I think my thinking is a bit twisted here :shock: because if the slow version on the 12” single which has a glorious feel. It’s also one of the few Elvis’ songs that I can “play” on the piano without being too embarrassed though I doubt if Steve will be partic...

https://forms.gle/WJo3Tnk7WPsSHGYUA Vote for your LEAST favorite song Beaten to the Punch is out. 23.6% voted for it. Kosi, it appears that Beaten to the Punch is still on the list given at the top of this thread (quoted here). Is there an error? I think God is telling you all the error of your vot...

Like Fishfinger King will concur no doubt, I'm gutted by this, I really love this song all in 7ths like "You can't Do that" and about 5 years ago, every time I saw The Imposters backstage I always reminded them about this song and that it was in 7ths just to prompt them - but I think I may...

Holy f*ck. This is brutal. It's my fault. IT'S ALL MY FAULT. I should have voted for Temptation. I like Temptation, but it's probably the song with the least tension in it on the album. Or is that Clowntime? I'm not trying to influence anything. Yes Neil ALL your fault !! :roll: Thanks for mentioni...

I had to choose something so I went with 5ive Gears in Reverse. Even though it's fantastic. Great riff, great organ, Elvis was in fully punny imagery mode in these lyrics, the motoring imagery comes tumbling out here: If your patience is EXHAUSTed And you still cannot decide And you're sitting in t...

i could do a mamba dance with no shirt on if you like! oh, wait, that's not what you meant...and, frankly, i don't think it would help ANYTHING... :shock: 8) If a nearly 100 year old can raise £26 million for the NHS walking around his garden think how much this could raise - apart from a few raise...

All is fine in MikeH towers, too. Working for the local authority and dealing with social care we are busier than ever and working from home. Thanks to Sulky and Top Balcony Junior for their work in these tough times. John Prine must have passed be by completely as I have not heard much by him - an...

Neil. wrote:Incredible album. This is going to be tough. I think I know what the last two are going to be. And I know what my favourite is. Again, how can you say 'favourite' out of so many amazing songs?

At least we're not including the bonus Rhino tracks - now that would be a killer!

Hi everyone Yes, all healthy on the Balcony too, but it's a strain. Having been retired for 2.5 years I have already got used to not going to work. My wife's job has been suspended pending 'normality' resuming. But our daughter works in a local hospital and so her risk of infection is a constant wo...

Whilst on tour following EC and The Imposters around the U.K. I loaded the car with CDs I hadn't listened to in a while - mainly all of The Smiths (except "The Queen Is Dead"), "Setting Sons", "All Mod Cons" and "Sound Effects" by The Jam, "Walls And Brid...

I knew Clubland used the same chords as "Message in A Bottle" and whilst statistically the latter is the better song ( higher charts. most often played on radio, best seller etc) Clubland is a work of absolute genius with a bass pattern than Sting could only dream of mastering and a lyric ...

I like the idea of sending a Grammy certificate in a sparkly envelope! :shock: Once again, wonderful contribution made by Kitten and Briana to a sparkling record and to all the great shows that I've see. I only bought the album on CD after my return to Blackpool after the Edinburgh show ( yes , I ha...
